Events leading to the summit
On 19 February 2022, G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held with the participation of Foreign Minister of Ukraine, and issued a statement on Russia and Ukraine.
In March 2022, foreign ministers from G7 agreed to impose tougher sanctions on Russia if it does not stop its assault on Ukraine, and demanded in particular that Moscow halt attacks in the vicinity of nuclear power plants. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz invited leaders from the G7 to a summit on 24 March 2022 in Brussels, Belgium. The meeting was embedded in the NATO summit and the European Council. World leaders warned that if Russia were to use chemical or nuclear weapons they would be forced to respond.
On 7 April 2022, G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting was held in Brussels to discuss about the situation of Ukraine, and issued their statement reaffirming that they will take additional measures against Russia until the country stops its invasion of Ukraine. On the day, leaders of the Group of Seven also issued a statement amid growing calls for Russia to be held accountable for the civilian killings. And on 19 April 2022, the leaders met and discussed at a videoconference about their coordinated efforts to impose severe economic costs to hold Russia accountable.
On 8 May 2022, the leaders discussed at a videoconference, and issued a joint statement saying that they will reinforce Russia's economic isolation. After meeting virtually with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, they committed to phasing out dependency on Russian energy. And on 9 May 2022, the G7 foreign ministers and the High Representative of the EU gave a statement on the selection process for the 2022 Hong Kong Chief Executive election. On 14 May 2022, they issued another statement on Russia's war against Ukraine, and pressed China to put real pressure on Russia.
After the summit
In September 2022, the leaders of G7 condemned the "sham" Russian referendums being carried out in occupied Ukraine as a "phony" pretext to illegally grab territory. On 11 October 2022, after the Russia's missile strikes in Ukraine, the leaders of G7 held an online meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and issued a statement on Ukraine. On 16 November, after the then assumed Russian rockets hit Poland (later proven to be Ukrainian defense missiles) during the period of the 2022 G20 Bali summit, an emergency meeting of G7 and NATO was held. On 12 December, G7 leaders held a virtual meeting and issued a statement to focus on boosting Ukraine's air defense. Also, it was announced that G7 created an open, international climate club and invited interested countries that pursue ambitious climate policies to join it.
